In this new century things don't seem to be going the liberals way.
I also believe that the world economy will revert from consumerism back to producerism.
techman1 said:The world works in long term trends, Im not saying that Pope Benedicts election will cause a conservative era but it confirms that it is occuring. Of course there are exceptions as there always are such as the election of the socialist government in spain. However this was more a knee jerk reaction to the 'al queda' attacks on spain than a real desire for socialism. I think that decision will be reversed the next time especially with the new legislation on gay marriage which can't be popular in a traditional catholic country like spain.
When I say that there will be a return to producerism I mean that the power balance will shift from consumption back to production. Since the second world war and especially in the last 30 years the people who had control over and access to consumers had the real power. However I believe this is changing and that the power in this relationship is swinging back towards producers. We can already see this with oil and other commodities, and I dont believe it is a short term blip like the 1970s but a long term trend.
